And with that, our Host said, “Damn! What a great story, Mr. Nun’s Priest!
Bless your britches and your balls! And I’ll bet that if you weren’t a priest,
you’d be a quite the cock among hens yourself! You could have all the women you
wanted—more than a hundred of them, I bet. I mean, just look at the muscles on
this priest! What a powerful neck and chest he has! And eyes as sharp as a
hawk’s! And what a great complexion. He doesn’t need to use any of that fine
Portuguese makeup or anything to hide any blemishes! Man, what a guy, and what a
tale!

And after that he, with ful mery chere,

Seide to another, as ye shullen here.

And after that, he happily spoke to another person in our group, as you’ll
soon hear.
